To deduce the mesh anisotropy of cellular automaton method, the composition averaging and geometrical parameter were introduced to simulate the spheroidal graphite growth. Solute balance method and decentered square algorithms were employed to simulate austenite dendrites growth with different crystallographic orientations. The simulated results indicate that the graphite nodule grows in a spherical morphology when the surrounding environment of a single graphite nodule is same. However, for two adjacent graphite nodules, the environment is different. The higher the carbon concentration, the faster the growth of graphite. By comparison with experimental results, it is found that the microstructure evolution of near eutectic spheroidal graphite cast iron during solidification process can be reproduced quantitatively by numerical simulation with this model.展开更多

The experimental results show that the magnetism, especially intrinsic coercivity, of the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet is more excellent than that of the sintered one, but the former's strength and hardness are lower than that of the latter. It was observed that the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet have more uniform grain size, thinner(Nd, Dy)-rich boundary phase. By means of the EBSD technology, the number of larger angle grain boundaries in the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet is more than that of the sintered one. The reasons for the increased intrinsic coercivity and decreased mechanical properties of the optimized aged Dy-doped Nd–Fe–B magnet are also discussed.展开更多

The results show that the deformation mode, dynamic recrystallization(DRX), texture evolution and mechanical properties are strongly affected by the longitudinal weld seam,temperature, and loading direction. The room temperature(RT) deformation of welding zone is controlled by the dislocation slips with the association of some twins, while twinning plays significant roles in the accommodation of c-axis strain of the coarse grains on matrix zone.The deformation at RT stretched along extrusion direction(ED) and transverse direction(TD) are controlled by basal slip/twinning and basal slip/prismatic slip/twinning, respectively. During high temperature tension, the dislocation cross slip of pyramidal slip is activated, and grain boundary sliding occurred in welding zone, leading to the superplastic behavior. With the increase of tensile temperature, the predominant DRX mode is transformed from continuous DRX to discontinuous DRX. Moreover, the basal poles of the grains spread from TD towards ED with the decrease of maximum pole intensity when stretched along ED, while non-basal textures are transformed to (10-10) fiber texture when stretched along TD. The slip-dominated flow is seen during RT tension along ED, while twinning becomes predominant during RT tension along TD. The fine grain structure causes the superior RT tensile properties along ED of welding zone with ultimate tensile strength of 315 MPa and elongation to failure of 13.8%. With the increase of tensile temperature, the slipping-dominated deformation is transformed into twinning-dominated, causing the decrease of strength and increase of elongation.展开更多

Microstructure in Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 joint was investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope( FE-SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer( EDS). Shear strength of Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 lap joint was measured by electromechanical universal testing machine. An excellent Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 joint with a shear strength of 155 MPa was achieved at 980 ℃ for 20 min. Brazed joint was mainly comprised of eutectic structure in the center of brazing seam,matrix structure and lump structure. Ni-Cu( Mo) and Ni-Fe solid solution were at the interface beside Mo-Cu composite and Cr18-Ni8 stainless steel,respectively. Shear fracture exhibited mixed ductile-brittle fracture feature with trans-granular fracture,ductile dimples and tearing edges. Fracture originated from the interface between brazing seam and Mo-Cu composite.展开更多

Cooling rates at different positions in the cylinder block were calculated based on the cooling curves recorded with a solidification simulation software. The metallographic structure and thermal conductivity were observed and measured using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electrical microscopy(SEM) and laser flash diffusivity apparatus, respectively. The effects of the cooling rate on the vermicularity, total and average areas of all graphite particles, and the pearlite fraction in the VGI cylinder block were investigated. It is found that the vermicularity changes in parabola trend with the increase of cooling rate. The total area of graphite particles and the cooling rate at eutectoid stage can be used to predict pearlite fraction well. Moreover, it is found that the thermal conductivity at room temperature is determined by the average area of graphite particles and pearlite fraction when the range of vermicularity is from 80% to 93%. Finally, the quantitative models are established to calculate the vermicularity, pearlite fraction, and thermal conductivity of the VGI cylinder block.展开更多

The experimental results show that there is no difference in microstructures, crystal orientation, magnetic and mechanical properties between the low-temperature aged and the two-stage aged sintered Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnets. Because of the uneven stress distribution in the sintered Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnet and the high activation of Dy element, Dy atoms could diffuse into the main crystal phase and the grain boundary phases of the magnets during low-temperature ageing process, which results in the reasonable distribution of Dy element and formation of the thin and uniform grain boundary phases, which are the main reasons to improve intrinsic coercivity of the Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnets by the low-temperature ageing.展开更多

The variation of the non-monotonic effects of tungsten content and vacuum conditions on the glass forming ability(GFA) of Fe-based alloys can be drawn in a schematic diagram. The higher the GFA of alloys, the higher the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of glassy state and crystalline state(-α), which can be described by the free volume model during dilatometric measurements. Under low and high vacuum conditions, the viscosity and microhardness are improved and the fragility of the Fe-based alloys are decreased by adding tungsten.展开更多

During high temperature tension, the dislocation cross slip of pyramidal slip is activated, and grain boundary sliding occurred in welding zone, leading to the superplastic behavior. With the increase of tensile temperature, the predominant DRX mode is transformed from continuous DRX to discontinuous DRX. Moreover, the basal poles of the grains spread from TD towards ED with the decrease of maximum pole intensity when stretched along ED, while non-basal textures are transformed to (10-10) fiber texture when stretched along TD. The slip-dominated flow is seen during RT tension along ED, while twinning becomes predominant during RT tension along TD. The fine grain structure causes the superior RT tensile properties along ED of welding zone with ultimate tensile strength of 315 MPa and elongation to failure of 13.8%. With the increase of tensile temperature, the slipping-dominated deformation is transformed into twinning-dominated, causing the decrease of strength and increase of elongation.

文摘Fabricating SiC ceramics via the digital light processing(DLP)technology is of great challenge due to strong light absorption and high refractive index of deep-colored SiC powders,which highly differ from those of resin,and thus significantly affect the curing performance of the photosensitive SiC slurry.In this paper,a thin silicon oxide(SiO_(2))layer was in-situ formed on the surface of SiC powders by pre-oxidation treatment.This method was proven to effectively improve the curing ability of SiC slurry.The SiC photosensitive slurry was fabricated with solid content of 55 vol%and viscosity of 7.77 Pa·s(shear rate of 30 s^(−1)).The curing thickness was 50μm with exposure time of only 5 s.Then,a well-designed sintering additive was added to completely convert low-strength SiO_(2) into mullite reinforcement during sintering.Complexshaped mullite-bond SiC ceramics were successfully fabricated.The flexural strength of SiC ceramics sintered at 1550℃in air reached 97.6 MPa with porosity of 39.2 vol%,as high as those prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS)techniques.

文摘Mo-Cu composite and Cr18-Ni8 stainless steel were brazed with Ni-Cr-P filler metal in a vacuum of 10-4 Pa and a Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 joint was obtained. Microstructure in Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 joint was investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope( FE-SEM) with energy dispersive spectrometer( EDS). Shear strength of Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 lap joint was measured by electromechanical universal testing machine. An excellent Mo-Cu/Cr18-Ni8 joint with a shear strength of 155 MPa was achieved at 980 ℃ for 20 min. Brazed joint was mainly comprised of eutectic structure in the center of brazing seam,matrix structure and lump structure. Ni-Cu( Mo) and Ni-Fe solid solution were at the interface beside Mo-Cu composite and Cr18-Ni8 stainless steel,respectively. Shear fracture exhibited mixed ductile-brittle fracture feature with trans-granular fracture,ductile dimples and tearing edges. Fracture originated from the interface between brazing seam and Mo-Cu composite.

文摘The microstructural evolution of rapidly solidified(RS) ZK60 powders extruded at 250 C was investigated.It was shown that formation of new ultrafine grains took place through continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX),accompanied by the perfect bonding of powders via severe plastic deformation.At a low strain level,a well-defined structure made up of equiaxed and elongated subgrains was developed.Simultaneously,the operation of basal and non-basal dislocation slip led to the formation of low-angle dislocation cells(LADC) within the elongated subgrains.With increasing strain,the number and average misorientation of LADC increased,resulting in fragmentation of original elongation subgrains into a finally homogeneous fine-grained structure.Almost full-recrystallized structure with an average grain size of 0.4 μm was finally evolved after large cumulative strain.The results suggested that structural change was connected with thermal strain,where dislocation activities dominated this process.

文摘Twin roll cast ZK60 alloy strip/sheet with final thickness of 0.5 mm was prepared,and effect of rolling temperature on microstructure and texture development was investigated using OM and XRD technique,microstructure and texture were measured on specimens subjected to rolling experiment at different rolling temperature,and macrotexture was also evaluated by X-ray diffraction method.In addition,the(1 010)and(0002) pole figures were measured,and the tensile test was performed to reveal the influence of rolling temperature on mechanical properties.The results show that the microstructure of ZK60 alloy sheet consisted of fibrous structure with elongated grains,and shear bands along the rolling direction after warm rolling.Dynamic recrystallization could be found during the warm rolling process at rolling temperature 350 °C and above.And many fine recrystallized grain could be observed in the shear bands area.It is a little difficult to see the recrystallized grain in the sheet warm rolled at 300 °C because of higher density of shear bands.The warm rolled ZK60 alloy sheet exhibited strong(0002) pole texture,the intensity of(0002) pole figure decreases with the increasing of rolling temperature and the basal pole tilted slightly to the transverse direction after warm rolling.
文摘The present work mainly evaluates the effect of potassium(K) on as-cast microstructure of a hypereutectic high chromium cast iron by means of a field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM) and an X-ray diffractometer using CuKα radiation with a 2θ range of 30-130°.Results showed that,with the addition of K-containing modifier,the large lath-like and/or rod-like primary M7C3 carbides can be modified to the hexagonal prisms,and the eutectic carbides can also be refined.In addition,the carbides are distributed much more homogeneously in the matrix.The modification effect of K is due to its aggregation at the liquid-solid interface and the adsorption on the relatively fast growing planes during the solidification,which influence the growth rates of different crystal planes and lead to the modification of the carbides.
文摘The relationships of cooling rate with microstructure and thermal conductivity of vermicular graphite cast iron(VGI) cylinder block were studied, which are important for design and optimization of the casting process of VGI cylinder blocks. Cooling rates at different positions in the cylinder block were calculated based on the cooling curves recorded with a solidification simulation software. The metallographic structure and thermal conductivity were observed and measured using optical microscopy(OM), scanning electrical microscopy(SEM) and laser flash diffusivity apparatus, respectively. The effects of the cooling rate on the vermicularity, total and average areas of all graphite particles, and the pearlite fraction in the VGI cylinder block were investigated. It is found that the vermicularity changes in parabola trend with the increase of cooling rate. The total area of graphite particles and the cooling rate at eutectoid stage can be used to predict pearlite fraction well. Moreover, it is found that the thermal conductivity at room temperature is determined by the average area of graphite particles and pearlite fraction when the range of vermicularity is from 80% to 93%. Finally, the quantitative models are established to calculate the vermicularity, pearlite fraction, and thermal conductivity of the VGI cylinder block.
文摘A novel method,i.e.multi-cyclic quenching and partitioning(M-Q-P)heat treatment,is used to tailor the content of retained austenite(RA)in commercial steels.For 35CrMnSi steel,5 times of Q-P heat treatment can increase the content of RA from 8vol.%to 17 vol.%.As a result,the ultimate elongation of the steel is improved from 17.4%after the typical Q-P heat treatment to 27.1%after 5 times of Q-P treatment.Meanwhile,the improved combination of strength and ductility for steels by typical Q-P heat treatment is retained by the multi-cyclic Q-P heat treatment.It is shown that the content of RA in some specific steels,and furthermore their mechanical properties,can be regulated through the M-Q-P.

文摘In this work, a low temperature ageing process for the high coercivity Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnets was developed by the optimizing ageing process. The experimental results show that there is no difference in microstructures, crystal orientation, magnetic and mechanical properties between the low-temperature aged and the two-stage aged sintered Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnets. Because of the uneven stress distribution in the sintered Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnet and the high activation of Dy element, Dy atoms could diffuse into the main crystal phase and the grain boundary phases of the magnets during low-temperature ageing process, which results in the reasonable distribution of Dy element and formation of the thin and uniform grain boundary phases, which are the main reasons to improve intrinsic coercivity of the Dy-doped Nd-Fe-B magnets by the low-temperature ageing.

文摘The microstructures and thermal properties of Fe61Co9-xZr8Mo5WxB17 (x=0 and 2) formed under different vacuum conditions were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffractometry(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and conventional dilatometry(DIL). The variation of the non-monotonic effects of tungsten content and vacuum conditions on the glass forming ability(GFA) of Fe-based alloys can be drawn in a schematic diagram. The higher the GFA of alloys, the higher the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of glassy state and crystalline state(-α), which can be described by the free volume model during dilatometric measurements. Under low and high vacuum conditions, the viscosity and microhardness are improved and the fragility of the Fe-based alloys are decreased by adding tungsten.
